Leaving from Corredor del Henares
Alcalá de Henares, a university city and World Heritage Site, is the largest town on the Henares corridor, which follows the A-2 from Madrid to Guadalajara. Between logistics parks, the university and tourism, its trips are split between the airport, the capital and Guadalajara.
Which way it goes
The radial roads leave Madrid in every direction: the A-42 to Toledo, the A-2 to Guadalajara, the A-3 to Cuenca, and the A-6 and AP-6 cross the mountains towards Segovia and Ávila. They take an hour to an hour and a half in normal conditions, longer on Sunday evenings coming back.
Ávila, seen from Madrid
Ávila is reached on the A-6 and AP-51, crossing the mountains to the west, in just over an hour. Its walls are the main sight, and the Sunday evening return coincides with everyone coming back to Madrid from the mountains.
On arrival: Ávila y el Valle Amblés
The city of Ávila, with the Amblés valley below it, holds the hospital, the railway station, public offices and the tourism around the walls. It is where the northern half of the province comes for appointments and paperwork, and the starting point for most transfers to Madrid and Barajas.
When demand peaks
- Spring day trips (March to June): In spring, day trips from Madrid to Toledo, Segovia and Ávila multiply, along with group departures from hotels in the capital. Long weekends and Easter are the dates that sell out first.
